New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Best Tools for Monorepo?
Ask HN: Best Tools for Monorepo?
8 by bradhe | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I've got a monorepo I'm working in that has a Golang backend with a couple services and a Next.js front-end. Everything lives in a monorepo together. My tooling is super weak, though! For instance, for process management in development I'm using Goreman, which is a Foreman alternative in Goalng. Wondering what's the state of the art for managing the processes in local dev in monorepos in 2024? Or other tools for managing a monorepo I might be missing in general!

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I built an open-source tool to make on-call suck less
Show HN: I built an open-source tool to make on-call suck less
19 by aray07 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I am building an open source platform to make on-call better and less stressful for engineers. We are building a tool that can silence alerts and help with debugging and root cause analysis. We also want to automate tedious parts of being on-call (running runbooks manually, answering questions on Slack, dealing with Pagerduty). Here is a quick video of how it works: https://youtu.be/m_K9Dq1kZDw I hated being on-call for a couple of reasons: * Alert volume: The number of alerts kept increasing over time. It was hard to maintain existing alerts. This would lead to a lot of noisy and unactionable alerts. I have lost count of the number of times I got woken up by alert that auto-resolved 5 minutes later. * Debugging: Debugging an alert or a customer support ticket would need me to gain context on a service that I might not have worked on before. These companies used many observability tools that would make debugging challenging. There are always a time pressure to resolve issues quickly. There were some more tangential issues that used to take up a lot of on-call time * Support: Answering questions from other teams. A lot of times these questions were repetitive and have been answered before. * Dealing with PagerDuty: These tools are hard to use. e.g. It was hard to schedule an override in PD or do holiday schedules. I am building an on-call tool that is Slack-native since that has become the de-facto tool for on-call engineers. We heard from a lot of engineers that maintaining good alert hygiene is a challenge. To start off, Opslane integrates with Datadog and can classify alerts as actionable or noisy. We analyze your alert history across various signals: 1. Alert frequency 2. How quickly the alerts have resolved in the past 3. Alert priority 4. Alert response history Our classification is conservative and it can be tuned as teams get more confidence in the predictions. We want to make sure that you aren't accidentally missing a critical alert. Additionally, we generate a weekly report based on all your alerts to give you a picture of your overall alert hygiene. What’s next? 1. Building more integrations (Prometheus, Splunk, Sentry, PagerDuty) to continue making on-call quality of life better 2. Help make debugging and root cause analysis easier. 3. Runbook automation We’re still pretty early in development and we want to make on-call quality of life better. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Show HN: Zerox – document OCR with GPT-mini
16 by themanmaran | 6 comments on Hacker News.
This started out as a weekend hack with gpt-4-mini, using the very basic strategy of "just ask the ai to ocr the document". But this turned out to be better performing than our current implementation of Unstructured/Textract. At pretty much the same cost. I've tested almost every variant of document OCR over the past year, especially trying things like table / chart extraction. I've found the rules based extraction has always been lacking. Documents are meant to be a visual representation after all. With weird layouts, tables, charts, etc. Using a vision model just make sense! In general, I'd categorize this solution as slow, expensive, and non deterministic. But 6 months ago it was impossible. And 6 months from now it'll be fast, cheap, and probably more reliable!

Show HN: VisCircuit – A Note-Taking Website for Electronics and Circuits
9 by darrenyaoyaoyao | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, everyone. I created a note-taking website for electronics and circuits where you can draw circuit diagrams and write text notes at the same time. I am a Digital IC designer, and I self-study different types of analog and digital circuits a lot. However, I found a problem. Circuits have many different architectures and are hard to memorize due to numerous experiential tips. I want to document what I learn in my note app, but I found there is no method for me to easily draw circuit and block diagrams alongside text notes. This issue has bothered me for a long time, from my master's school to my current working life. I decided to solve it, so I created a note-taking website specifically for electronics and circuits, called VisCircuit. With VisCircuit, you can easily draw circuit diagrams, block diagrams, and write text notes simultaneously. I have already used it for two weeks and have noted down things I find hard to remember, such as SRAM, amplifier circuits, and PCB components of Arduino and Raspberry Pi. I found this tool really useful for memorizing knowledge about electronics and circuits. Currently, I have opened VisCircuit for alpha testing, and I want to let some people use it and give me feedback. Feel free to try it, and I will really appreciate what you think about this project. Leave any suggestions for improvement. Thank you very much.

Show HN: I generated 70k audiobooks with OpenAI Text-to-Speech
18 by evan_ry | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN. I’m Ivan, hacker from Ukraine. For about a year, I was working on Listenly — an app to listen to text content with OpenAI's natural-sounding text-to-speech model. At some moment, I realized that it would be cool to take all the public domain e-books and create audio versions for them. So I did it... kind-of. It would cost an immense amount of money to generate all the audio right away (OpenAI TTS costs approximately $0.84/hour of audio; 11labs, for comparison, is 10 times more expensive). So, I took a more gradual approach. I took all the metadata from the Project Gutenberg catalog (it's about 70GB of dirty XML), cleaned it, put it into my database, and created a browsable catalog. When the first user visits a book page on Listenly, I download the full text of the book, save it in my cloud storage, and calculate the price for audio generation based on the book's length. Then, if the user decides to purchase it, we generate the audio. I know it’s not perfect. I've burned out a couple of times already while doing it. But still, I need to show it to the world. And I’ll be glad to hear your feedback. Peace.

Show HN: A modern Jupyter client for macOS
34 by jackhodkinson | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I love Jupyter – it's how I learned to code back when I was working as a scientist. But I was always frustrated that there wasn't a simple and elegant app that I could use with my Mac. I made do by wrapping JupyterLab in a chrome app, and then more recently switching to VS Code to make use of Copilot. I've always craved a more focused and lighter-weight experience when working in a notebook. That's why I created Satyrn. It starts up really fast (faster time-to-execution than VS Code or JupyterLab), you can launch notebooks right from the Finder, and the design is super minimalist. It's got an OpenAI integration (use your own API key) for multi-cell generation with your notebook as context (I'll add other LLMs soon). And many more useful features like a virtual environment management UI, Black code formatting, and easy image/table copy buttons. Full disclosure: it's built with Electron. I originally wrote it in Swift but couldn't get the editor experience to where I wanted it. Now it supports autocomplete, multi-cursor editing, and moving the cursor between cells just like you'd expect from JupyterLab or VS Code. Satyrn sits on top of the jupyter-server, so it works with all your existing python kernels, Jupyter configuration, and ipynb files. It only works with local files at the moment, but I'm planning to extend it to support remote servers as well. I'm an indie developer, and I will try to monetize at some point, but it's free while in alpha. If you're interested, please try it out! I'd love your feedback in the comments, or you can contact me at jack-at-satyrn-dot-app.
